True or False: Decide if the Statement given is (T) True, or (F) False

52. Biology only studies two systems in the body. ___ 53. Sensory Neurons are the “Middle Men” who tell the Motor what to do. ___54. The Nervous System relies on electric pulses, and the Endocrine on hormones.___55. The Pancreas is the producer of insulin. ___56. There is only one type of hormone in the body, though it can do different things.___57. Ovaries and Testes control sexual reproduction but arousal and pleasure come from the

brain.___58. LT Curtis should dress up as an Airman for Halloween. ___59. We can not adjust the levels of hormones, we can only balance their effects.___60. It is possible to “see” without eyes. ___61. While the Nervous System acts faster, the effects of the Endocrine last longer. ___62. Adrenaline affects blood circulation, muscles, and growth.___63. Too much adrenaline can be very bad for you. ___64. The weather in Utah is crazier than President Trump’s Twitter Feed.___65. The left side of the brain controls the motor functions of the left side of the body.___66. The inside of the brain is the Cerebral Cortex.___67. A person does not necessarily need all parts of the brain to survive. ___68. Concussions, or brain injuries, can affect multiple areas of the brain.___69. All areas of the brain develop at the same time and rate.___70. Psychologists don’t agree on how much “left brain” and “right brain” mean.___71. You are ready for this test. ___

72. Short Essay: Choose ONE of the topics below and write a SHORT response to it. Proper English IS important, but more important is having a clear opinion and being able to defend it intelligently.

a. Some Psychologists argue that we are more a product of “biology” than “psychology” and our personality is more a chemical product. Do you agree or disagree, and WHY?

b. Which PART of the brain do you think is most important, and WHY?c. Do you believe that people are more “left brain” or “right brain” and that one “side”

tends to dominate? Why or Why Not?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________WHICH ESSAY LETTER WILL YOU CHOOSE? _ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? ______________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ KEY TERMS YOU SHOULD USE : __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
